摘要

渴望被广泛认为是成瘾的核心特征。虽然网络游戏障碍在青少年中非常普遍，但导致对网络游戏的渴望发展的机制尚不清楚。本研究探讨了欲望思维和思想抑制在青少年网络游戏正、负元认知与渴望之间的中介作用。本研究采用网络游戏元认知量表、欲望思维量表、思维抑制量表和渴望评估量表对991名中国青少年进行测评。结果表明，欲望思维和思想抑制在积极元认知和消极元认知与渴望的关系中起部分中介作用，其中欲望思维的间接作用强于思想抑制。研究表明，积极元认知和消极元认知通过相似的认知途径与青少年网络游戏渴望相关，其中欲望思维是一个重要因素。本研究强调了在未来网络游戏障碍干预中针对元认知过程的潜力，强调了针对欲望思维量身定制干预策略的必要性。

The desire trap: Metacognitions and the cognitive mechanisms of adolescent online gaming craving

Craving is widely recognized as a central feature of addiction. Although internet gaming disorder is notably prevalent among adolescents, the mechanisms that lead to the development of craving for online gaming are not well understood. This study investigated the mediating role of desire thinking and thought suppression in the link between adolescents’ positive and negative metacognitions about online gaming and their craving for it. The study evaluated 991 Chinese adolescents utilizing the Metacognitions about Online Gaming Scale, Desire Thinking Questionnaire, Thought Suppression Inventory, and Craving Assessment Scale. Results showed that desire thinking and thought suppression partially mediated the link between both positive and negative metacognitions and craving, with desire thinking exhibiting a stronger indirect effect than thought suppression. The study indicates that both positive and negative metacognitions are associated with adolescent online gaming craving via similar cognitive pathways, with desire thinking being a significant factor. This study highlights the potential of targeting metacognitive processes in future interventions for internet gaming disorder, emphasizing the need for intervention strategies tailored to address desire thinking.

期刊介绍： Addictive Behaviors is an international peer-reviewed journal publishing high quality human research on addictive behaviors and disorders since 1975. The journal accepts submissions of full-length papers and short communications on substance-related addictions such as the abuse of alcohol, drugs and nicotine, and behavioral addictions involving gambling and technology. We primarily publish behavioral and psychosocial research but our articles span the fields of psychology, sociology, psychiatry, epidemiology, social policy, medicine, pharmacology and neuroscience. While theoretical orientations are diverse, the emphasis of the journal is primarily empirical. That is, sound experimental design combined with valid, reliable assessment and evaluation procedures are a requisite for acceptance. However, innovative and empirically oriented case studies that might encourage new lines of inquiry are accepted as well. Studies that clearly contribute to current knowledge of etiology, prevention, social policy or treatment are given priority. Scholarly commentaries on topical issues, systematic reviews, and mini reviews are encouraged. We especially welcome multimedia papers that incorporate video or audio components to better display methodology or findings. Studies can also be submitted to Addictive Behaviors? companion title, the open access journal Addictive Behaviors Reports, which has a particular interest in ''non-traditional'', innovative and empirically-oriented research such as negative/null data papers, replication studies, case reports on novel treatments, and cross-cultural research.
